nic dowd crashing mitch's postgame media availability lol
"torts [john tortorella] has talked about how he plans on utilizing you in a lot of different ways. what do you want your role to be this final stretch and into the playoffs?"
"whatever it needs to be. I think I'm pretty comfortable playing all three positions. I've done all three this year so, yeah, whatever kind of he feels best with throwing me out there on, I'm always good with it, so. you know, when that's going on, just trying to be smart with my shift-"
"[nic dowd, off camera:] ask them about the faceoffs!"
"[laughs] tell us about the faceoffs."
"[laughs] yeah, dowder gave me some good tips on some faceoffs, which got me some big wins. but, yeah, I mean, just, you know, I'm comfortable in all three positions, really, and just trying to get better at center. obviously, it's been a long time since I've played it, but I've been playing it a lot recently, so. just trying to get better in the dot, trying to get better down low and just helping our d men out. but, yeah, I'm comfortable in all three."
"can you share any of the insight that dowd gave you about the faceoffs?"
"well, I mean, we're pretty lucky to have some pretty elite centermen in here that can snap some faceoffs back. you know, usually I like to talk to dowder or siz [colton sissons] or- herts [tomas hertl] is a little tough because he's a lefty, but I like talking to those two, especially about faceoff plans and how to kind of go against certain people. just try to always ask some questions and try to learn new ways to win some faceoffs."
